“…Aggregation pheromones have been reported as effective tools for monitoring and trapping R. ferrugineus in the field [6][7][8][9]. In Libya, one adult of R. ferrugineus were collected occasionally from Tobruk city (North east of Libya) during January 2009 [10]. The aim of the present investigation is to study the pest status of the red palm weevil under management protocol for the pest at Tobruk region.…”

“…In the Mediterranean basin, it was first detected in the early 1990s and since then, it has been spreading progressively, invading most of the Mediterranean countries (Al‐Eryan et al. ). Its main hosts are coconut ( Cocos nucifera L.), Canary island date palm ( Phoenix canariensis hort.…”

To characterize red pigment‐producing bacteria (RPPB) regularly released during oviposition by red palm weevil (RPW), RPPB were recovered from eggs deposited in apples supplied as substrate for oviposition. The presence of RPPB was also detected from gut, the reproductive apparatus of dissected adult and virgin insects and from pupal cases collected within infested palms. RPPB were also identified all along the tissue of these palms. Analysis of the 16S rDNA, gyrB, rpoB, recA, and groEL sequences assigned RPPB to the species Serratia marcescens. RPPB exhibited an antimicrobial activity assessed by the agar well diffusion method against a number of gram‐positive and gram‐negative bacteria. In this study, we first report the identification of a red pigment‐producing S. marcescens as extracellular symbiont of RPW. Route of transmission, detection within different organs, and a wide spread along the infested palm tissue, suggested S. marcescens is present as extracellular symbiont in different developmental stages of the RPW. Additionally, the antimicrobial activity exhibited versus Bacillus spp., Paenibacillus spp., and Lysinibacillus spp., reported as insect pathogens and potential candidates for biocontrol agents, could ascribe for S. marcescens a potential protective role.
